The Big Splash - Original Linocut

Like the big bang, just in water ;o)) these girls frolic in the waves to make you smile, and that is important, to smile every day. Hang this in your bathroom, or above your dressing table, to be sure that the first thing you do every morning, is smile!

WHAT IS A LINOCUT?: A handprinted linocut reduction print, reduction means that as I am printing the very short edition of only 12 prints , I cut away areas to keep the color I just printed. This is quite a complicated process, great fun, as you don't really know how the print is going to turn out until the end, it is a technique I enjoy very much, as it feels quite like you are sculpting with your linocut knife and painting with your roller of ink. Experience has taught me incredibly much about this way of printing, managing the ink, using pressure, etc etc, given the choice this is my favorite way of printmaking!
You can join over 60.000 viewers on Youtube, to see how a reduction print is made and printed by me, either go to www.youtube.com and search under my name.
All my lino prints are printed by me, printmaking is my big love!
I have used a range of beautiful non toxic blockprinting inks in happy blues and strong red for the costumes.

EDITION: I have signed, titled and numbered the print. It is one of only 12 prints.
Please note you might not receive the number in the photo.

SHIPPING: I'll mail it to you, protected by tissuepaper and a plastic sleeve so it arrives safely, in a mail tube ( see my reviews).
It comes with a flier explaining what a lino reduction is, see thumbnail. Just let me knowif you want it gift wrapped?

If you have any questions, just get in touch with me!
Thank you for looking in my shop, and welcome back.
